Slightly taller than our 'Mini' model, the Bright Light 'Midi' model stands at just under 18" tall and is the perfect desktop SAD lamp to help relieve your winter blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). As with other Bright Light SAD lamps, the 'Midi' produces an output of 10,000 lux to provide a treatment time of just 60mins. However, unlike the 'Mini' model, this lamp isn't suited for transport and more suited for your office desk, coffee table or bedside drawers with its fold-out stand.

When the hours of daylight noticeably reduce during the Autumn and Winter months, people tend to increasingly stay inside and the effects of a lack of light cumulate. This is often described as 'Winter depression' or ' Winter blues' and can affect people in a number of ways (see below). In the medical field, SAD lights are used to compensate for the effects of a lack of light. SAD light boxes with a light intensity of over 10,000 lux are designed to simulate daylight. This light can influence the human body and be used as a treatment or preventative measure.
